About Trusted Partner Network (TPN)
TPN (Trusted Partner Network) is a global standard for the audio-video industry that establishes the requirements for maintaining a certain level of privacy when exchanging data with partners.
The platform, which includes a directory of information security issues, was developed by the U.S. intellectual property organizations MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) and CDSA (Content Delivery & Security Association).
Their goal was to develop an ecosystem of trusted partners and establish security protocols across the film and television industry. The TPN initiative could protect digital assets from outside breaches by offering support, criteria, and best practices.

TPN – Frequently Asked Questions!
The TPN assessment process allows certified assessors to compare your content security procedures to the Motion Picture Association’s (MPA) Best Practices; however, the assessment does not have a pass/fail score.
Three primary ways to pass this assessment are:
- Prepare
- Establish Processes
- Know Your Risk Threshold
TPN assessments are renewed annually.
While TPN wishes to be as flexible as possible to support vendors during this challenging time, they have stated that they cannot do assessments digitally.
TPN will continue to handle assessment types one by one.
For an assessment, each facility is treated as a separate operation. Individual reviews can be arranged if you finish the fundamental questions for the areas you wish to have assessed on the TPN Platform.
Your assessment fee includes a review of your facility by a TPN Qualified Assessor of your choice, a detailed assessment report with recommended fixups and advancements, and accessibility in the TPN platform’s vendor roster.
TPN will collaborate with you to maintain your status up to date by conducting annual assessments and providing technology alerts about security flaws in your systems.
